Just throwing this out there. Do you think we could increase the avatar size to 8KB? I know this could dramatically effect peoples loading time and I know we already have awesome luxurious such as being able to change our usernames and customizable ranks and much more, but in the past I've been saddened as I couldn't put up a picture which has filled every requirement except it is 7KB.
What do you think?

Some people don't have access to any sort of picture editing program or don't know how to edit their pictures. (Hint Hint /me):(

I thought one could send the pic in email to a mod, for example (or anyone with Photoshop).. The other guy could then send it back and that's it?

I know as most people now have broadband it won't affect the load times too much the other issue is the amount of space it will take up on the servers.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.

The directory size for the avatars is around 4MB. I'm not sure we really need bigger avatars, I've yet to see a clamour for anything bigger.
Plus, I'm not sure what sort of impact this would have on the site's bandwidth (not my department) - with the number of people visiting the site likely to increase in the next few months, the man paying the bill really has to decide how it fits the budget .

Paint doesn't have any option to compress the image. The gimp is as good as choice as any since it's free, and should give you the option to compress the image when you save it (though dropping much below 80% of the original file size can really harm the quality, depending on the image).
